To A Friend Poem by Ana Liza Corpuz Nabor

In times of loneliness, you're not there.
In times of hardship, you're nowhere.

But in times of happiness, you're there.
And in times of abundance, you're beside me somewhere.

My heart leaps with a bit of pang
Thinking that this year will end.

With jocund countenance together, my heart mutely cries.
Parting for days brings sorrow with gladness.

How grateful my bosom, that in you I found the truest.
May the Almighty shower you with unending favor.
